Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s "Vultures 1" is a chaotic mix of bold production, standout features, and controversial lyrics that don’t hold back. Kanye tackles everything from his recent antisemitic comments to his relationship with fame, all while Ty Dolla Sign adds a smoother, more melodic touch that helps ground the album’s rougher edges. Tracks like "Carnival" and "Paid" hit hard with booming beats, while "Burn" brings a more soulful vibe. However, Kanye’s tendency to provoke for the sake of shock value leaves the project feeling a bit scattered. It’s an ambitious, yet uneven, attempt to capture both the energy of their earlier collaborations and the tension of Kanye’s current persona. Learn more about your ad choices.
